Report MMHF
Gentlemen:—
In reply to your letter of March 3-'30. I am enclosing money order for $1.45 for photostatic copies of papers on file of the Rev War class of John Duba S 45349- bAp I understand that there are eight pages to be copied at .15 each and 25 cts included for certification of same.
I have perhaps not made myself very clear in a question previously asked.

giving pension receipts of John Dulia.
What I am trying to find out is this - Did Dulia's pension was granted to him when he was living at Greenburg, Forster County, N.Y. in 1818.
He died May 10 - 1826 in Chelsea village N.Y. at the home of his son-in-law Thomas H. Glade. In trying to prove his residence (there) wondered if the Pension Dept lists would show where his pension checks in 1826 were mailed to. Does such a list exist and is it possible to get the information desired?
If the photostatic copies and letter are mailed within two weeks

the address at the head of the letter will be OK

Gentlemen:- In reference to your letter of Nov 5-1929 - Rev Adm 1812 War Section E.E.L. I wish to thank you for the information I have been left and unable to write in regard to the letter you sent giving me information about David Storm's Rev War Pension it was however not the David Storm I want. The David Storm I am looking for was born in Phillips Manor Westchester County, N.Y. and was in a New York Regiment from Westchester County.
In further reference to John Duba my great great grandfather Rev War Pension claim S. 45349 Would you be kind enough to give me what information you can in the following.
Is it possible to get a photostat

2 copy of his application for a pension? also is there any record of a pension being paid to his widow Elizabeth Duba?
John Duba died in Nye in the Chelsea village section on the farm of his son-in-law Thomas McBlade. He died May 10-1826. He had lived for properly five years prior to that with his son-in-law. Is there any way a pension check receipt of his could be turned up even if I paid for any necessary search. My ideal is to prove residence in Nye with his son-in-law prior to his death.
Does his (Duba) pension record give his rank as private at the time of his discharge in 1783?
I will greatly appreciate any information you can give me Thanking You,
Yours very truly Wm R Reiner
